Almost a week now in hospital. This is the only trade I made and it was closed an hour ago (give or take). Should've made around 80% or so but because I had to sleep I missed the optimum exit. Nobody should trade when they're not in their top shape and this is why I only made 57% on this trade. I'll do the marking later when I'm truly myself again.

When you're this weak, the phone is the only viable option. Trade done using my phone.

This time I used H1 for entry timing and trigger instead of the usual M5.

Yellow line is Moses' mythical staff LOLZ

Oil, gold, Dow, e/u are still the hot items but oil is like the grand daddy for now.

Take care everyone!

Wow that trade was horrible. You only got 57% you should be ashamed.

Yes, it is.

Price going further after you reach your optimum exit is fine because the trade is executed flawlessly.

But price going back eating your optimum exit after it is reached simply means the execution is lacking and in this case it's my fault. Normally, I would get up a bit and check my trade after x time but due to this less than prime health, I simply could not do it. That's why, trading when we're not in our top condition is generally shunned.

You are right. When I am sick I try to stay away from the charts. Bad decisions can be made very easy.

I didnt even notice. Well damn 900 ticks on CL is real nice. $9000 per contract. I was happy with about 100 ticks a day.

This woulda been an excellent +450% profit trade off M5 anchor trade with H1 + D1 backdrop. Every once in a awhile it appear but when you miss it, you miss it.

This is the much anticipated trade that was extended to board as many big guns and wipe off as many buyers as possible.

But I didn't take it... getting sick sucks.

These are the charts related to the post above (for reference):

The same play, just different scenes.

H1+D1+small tf trigger = massive profit.

Hope you and Lem get better soon.
Is it just old age or you guys have crappy diets?

Or maybe that China virus?

I think Lem used to be a rock climber so could be just a couple old dudes. hahahaha
I haven't seen much on your history.

No, not that virus.
Breathing issue.
They gonna check my trachea tomorrow. Well, if they couldn't fix it then my days might be numbered.

I have 1 trade and it's on NZDUSD and it was running at 150% before the weekend but I didn't close it. Let's just go crazy before I die. If I survive this whole health issue, I might try to challenge myself with a small balance, maybe it will attract new traders to come here (coz apparently they love stuff like this lolz though I'm gonna tone down the risk-taking level). I will open a new thread called NAA (Not Afraid Anymore). This is gonna be my 3rd extra live so I guess the title is appropriate.

So, N/U...

H1+D1+small tf trigger.

This one is a very aggressive trade. Almost wiped out my entire account during the first 30 min. or so. Good thing is the margin is very small compared to other XXX/USD pairs.

I still have fear.

I think Buddhists say ALL fear originates from the fear of Death.

If I am afraid to step out into traffic, (fear of death)
If I am afraid to lose an argument, It appears all the bricks I have stacked up over a lifetime will crumble and fall, (fear of death)
If I am afraid of being wrong on a trade, (fear of death??)

I don't know man,
I do know that on a larger timeframe everything goes to Zero and life is extremely short compared to when the Sun will become a supernova. LOL

OR, everything gets consumed by a black hole.

I'm not a Buddhist nor a preacher but I think fear only comes from 1 of 2 sources. Not knowing or not accepting.

It's natural to have fear when we don't know.
It's also normal to have fear when you know something but don't want to accept it.
They may be rooted from different things...life, health, work, relationship, for some people, afterlife or whatnot.
When you have no fear it doesn't mean you know everything there is to know but rather, what you need to know. Also you accept what may come.

In trading, I know the potential profit and consequences when things go south. That is why I structured my entry, exit, mm, pm, cm and psyche accordingly so even if I get a margin call I still have the bulk of my money safe (because it's out of the trading account, obviously) and ready for the next battles. Many people are afraid of MC because they are trained differently or they are in a situation where MC is not acceptable.

This N/U trade didn't go well and I lost my 150% unrealized profit because I kept pushing my luck. I really thought it would go down hard but it didn't. However, because this is a very aggressive trade I had to cover my position. If the market is indecisive, it could go hard after gathering more power or it could just go super fast in the direction of the previous trend. Because I expected that the market might go up to gather more sellers I moved my SL to profit. This only protected a small portion of the profit but it's better than getting $0 or even minus. Not the smartest move on my part but because I'm still in the hospital I could not monitor the position tick by tick which I usually do. Here's my thought process on this trade...




Well, not everything will go your way. I'm still perfecting my craftsmanship.

Now let's move to something else. I entered 2 trades trying to scalp the E/U. This is the xth scene for me and it should be pretty obvious for those reading this thread. As a reminder, I put the related charts below:

post150313#p150313

post149626#p149626

post149731#p149731

The thought process goes like this:





The files are too big to upload directly so I used pic hosting site.

The E/U scalp yielded 62.20% when I closed the trades around 4 hours ago. The pattern is not yet completed but I'm not sure whether this will go full length or reverse midway. I mentioned the gathering of more power on the N/U trade and this is a classic example of how they do it. The market looks very much hesitant to go down as it printed lower highs and lower lows. Eventually, the sucker move entered the scene (which created the 3rd lower high) taking out all of the stop losses from the untrained sellers. A stop loss for a sell order is buy order and who is selling for those buy orders? Exactly. The trained sellers entered the market with a much better price thanks to those stop losses. Knowledge and experience about this stuff is crucial because sometimes the aftermath is the price will shoot very high very fast or vice versa.

For those of you scalpers who love trading indices (CFD) you can check this vid by Tom, maybe useful. It might also be useful for everyone trading any market that is liquid because the core concept is there.
